Being the main inorganic constitution of hard tissues (bone and teeth),calcium phosphates has been applied in medical and dental applications in hard tissue repair. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramics have attracted attention because of their excellent osteoconductive [...]

Al2O3 and KY(WO4)2 are promising materials for photonic applications with excellent optical properties and of interest for obtaining on chip resonator structures. However, there is no method available to fabricate these structures except FIB technology. [...]

The development of nanotechnology based devices requires rapid prototyping methods that can be applied in combination with well-known clean room processing techniques. We show that focused ion beam (FIB) Ga+-ion implantation can be used to [...]

Modern FIB columns have not only reduced minimum spot sizes, but has also improved beam profiles at large and intermediate FIB currents. Focused ion beams with high beam currents and yet small spot sizes and [...]

The trend towards the application of nanoparticle filled materials in the aerospace and automotive electronics sectors have led to a strong need in material characterization on the micro and nano scale. In addition MEMS and [...]

In this work, FIB is utilized in manufacturing of nano-pillars to investigate plasticity of metals at nano-scale. Gold nano-pillars were fabricated from bulk gold and epitaxial gold films on MgO substrates and subsequently compressed using [...]

Activity in the development of polymer-based materials, composites and devices is more intense than ever. At the same time, techniques and methods for their characterisation have become more powerful, giving new insights into the spatial [...]
